"Tell me about it!" Dustin sighed, "I wish we were older so we could get a drink and gossip... we should do that when we turn twenty-one!"
"Yeah..." the ravenette mumbled, trying his best to reply with a smile, "We'll definitely go out for drinks when we're older," but in all honestly Mike wasn't sure, what if he fails his goals? What if he succeeds? What happens after his time is up?
Their thoughts were cut out when Mike noticed a group of boys coming close to them; Jake and his buddies, oddly, no Troy this time.  The group approached with their usual smug expression, looking the pair up and down, locking eyes with them.
"What now?" Mike groaned; it was clear Jake was still salty about the 'fight' from last time, he just wanted an excuse to rematch and prove his worth.
"I was just wondering why you're not with your precious Will Byers. Are you cheating on your boyfriend with Dustin over here? Wow! Dustin your good! You turned him gay!" Jake mocked, involving Dustin in a situation that didn't concern him, 
"Why are you obsessed with who is dating who?" The ravenette didn't flinch, calmly standing up, approaching Jake, "And why do you care who's gay or not?"
"Listen here asshole-" Jake scrunched his face, grabbing the ravenette's collar, annoyed by the lack of reaction,
"Jake what the hell man, stop it!" Dustin stood up, separating the two boys, pushing Jake out the way. He wasn't one for physical confrontation, so this was a big move for him.
"What did you just say to me Toothless?" Jake stepped threatening close, almost as if he was ready to attack Dustin, calling him a nickname to mock his medical condition, "I'll get rid of your baby-teeth for you."
"Why don't you shut your mouth if you're not going to say anything useful?" Mike was now teetering on anger. He had overlooked all the previous taunting because he deemed it as 'cute' but the type of cute like a chihuahua trying to challenge a great Dane; a nonsensical yapping, but now he was actively making fun of his friend. "You should learn some manners; did you know the weakest guys chat the most?"
"What the hell are you talking about? Are you actually gay?" Jake sprouted,
"So, what if I am?" The ravenette said with his whole chest; was he really gay? He hadn't ever thought about it, but he wasn't going to let this boy mock a whole subset of people.
"Homo." Jake spat, venom lacing his words,
Mike's expression didn't change, something clicking inside of him, he contemplated punching Jake directly in the face to teach him a lesson, but it wasn't worth the trouble, would he even learn a lesson? But then Mike thought of an idea; a lightbulb going off in his head. The ravenette, stepped forward, advancing closer, trapping a nervous Jake against the wall, hearing the group of boys around asking questions, confused by the situation.
Mike's voice lowered, a deadly teasing, "Wanna know something Jake?" He asked without waiting for an answer, grabbing Jake by the collar, kissing him square on the lips. It was quick, but deliberate enough to shock everyone, including Jake himself, who stood frozen in place, his eyeballs wide.
Mike pulled back, grinning now, "There. Now your gay too! Congrats on coming out."
Jake's face turned beet-red, pointing at the ravenette, spitting on the ground, trying to cleanse his mouth from the kiss, "Huh?"
